Legendary merchant

Crackling sound of firecrackers in the distance a team of makeup parade is coming toward Chen Fan position their station.

At this point they are the seat of Paris's 13th district, Fan Chen and his family stood in the crowd waiting, holding his son in the family is around them is surrounded by a group of bodyguards.

Here is the Chinatown 13th district of Paris, the annual Spring Festival has a large makeup parade to celebrate the Lunar New Year Zhu Huaguo.

Chen Fan has been coming here for two days time, in addition to the first because jet lag has been alone in the house, the next day had a guided tour in local employment in Paris.

In fact parents have long been played here, and although Liu Ying came, but not play, so I look at the child's thing yesterday handed over to their parents, he and Liu Ying toured the city of Paris in a guided tour several so-called monuments.

Before this tour is to find the parents of a local guide, very familiar with the city of Paris, from his home in Paris first saw the Eiffel Tower, after all, just outside the window, then walked through the Arc de Triomphe, the Champs Elysees, no more behind far is very famous Louvre.

Wizard probably very familiar with the Chinese impression of Paris, directly put a few in the city center of Paris landmarks are gone trip to China in the eyes of the people, then just across the Seine into Paris began with Chen Fan from the center of the area District 5.

There have long been waiting for security personnel to drive here, wandering around the car began to set up in Paris, under the command of the wizard.

Paris building is more retro, and Fan Chen visited the ancient town almost domestic feel, most of them where the buildings are not modern architecture, of course, such a feeling in the 13th district of Paris District 19 and gone.

Here, you can feel the touch of fact, here is a metropolitan feel, although it can not skyscrapers, but the building where the significant differences surrounding buildings, not only architectural style is completely different, but also because the Chinese and the French advertising signs parallel side streets, shopping malls Row upon row of restaurants, pedestrians, such as carp, busy.

The last stop was the Eiffel Tower, well, in fact, here from their home Chen Fan has been very close, almost in a circle around Paris.

But today's tour is only free to walk around, to understand this European metropolis.

To tell the truth, in addition to feeling better on the Champs Elysees, the other places feel very general, nothing to attract the attention of Chen Fan.

At the moment most of the surrounding Chen Fan is speaking in French, one Chinese faces of tourists, locals seem, this time because of the Chinese New Year parade, they come here to watch early on.

Of course, the crowd of white skin and blue eyes are also many Europeans, Chen Fan also saw several looks like an organized tour, the young and old men and women have, have put on a big red vest clothes outside, it seems to be in order easy identification lest wandered off.

Chen Fan least in appearance and those similar to themselves Chinese mouth, rarely hear them speak Chinese, maybe they have been incorporated into it here.

It is said that the parade starting point is the center of the square area 13, there is predominantly Chinese team consisting of drums, drum team, dance teams, lion dance team, Yangko team, Han Chuan, running donkey, dragon boat, character costume collection will be at the Town Hall Square .

Complete collection against the team they will beat the drums, dancing queue, danced lion dance, let tens of thousands of Parisians and tourists crowd the Chinese enjoy the holidays happy.

The procession along Temple Street Chinese businessmen set forward, because there are too many people square, so Fan Chen family did not go there crowded, but just stood beside the street watching.

Parade a bit long, he reckoned the people involved have to have thousands of people, both before and after the police escort, but that is on the main street in the 13th district of the revolution.

The wizard is a moment they introduce this Chinese New Year Parade in Paris organized in fact it was held for two years, this year is the third year, the scale feeling is getting bigger.

Two years ago the Chinese New Year Parade is perhaps the Parisians have not seen a large Chinese national characteristics of the parade, so was the main audience are locals, it is a shocking one.

After two years of marches, in the eyes of the wizard, the locals seem to come here a lot less this year, but looks like a lot more visitors to neighboring countries, perhaps directed at the past.

Chen Fan because it is not understood how he see it in his eyes around the human skin is slightly whiter than they are, many eyes look bluish and green, and purple belt, but also a wide variety of hair, mostly brown, yellow, brown and white, there are very few people is golden, very compelling, especially several Fubai beautiful big legs.

Fan Chen came to Europe once in the past, but then went mainly to see the scenery, did not pay attention to how people today standing street watching the parade, well, maybe foreigners feel very strange, as the country come from China's him, I felt very uninteresting.

So he was holding his son, but did not watch the parade on the street how eyes, but staring at the foreigners around watching.

This year's Spring Festival activities do relatively strong, in addition to native tissue makeup parade showcase Chinese culture, the country is said to have a lot of artists perform at the theater in Paris.

Looked at the crowd, ears ringing from time to time may sound plus firecrackers, Chen Fan has a very weird feeling, because now the country seems to have begun to ban fireworks, the current major cities of the country have already started but in this place in Paris, seemingly casual play.

I heard that at night there are fireworks, Chinese organizations in Paris is sponsored activities.

While bored, but turned around and looked at the parents and Liu Ying, a cheerful, Fan Chen quickly turned hostile, before calm face out of a flower, we are very happy that he can not sweep the Masaoki family , like it or not pretend to be very fond of the way.

Chen Fan time they got back home is already 22 o'clock more, and 13 district there came the crowd Huaguo Chun festival has also started scattered.

A few days later, Chen Fan and Liu Ying in the streets of Paris to walk around in, this is the depth of attractions to visit Paris, several major museums in Paris that is a must-see, but relatively speaking Chen Where most interested in the Champs Elysees.

And as if the last century than building up on both sides of the street that is not high building, reportedly gathered the world's most famous luxury boutiques, as well as most of the gourmet shop.

And here, the most surprising is that Chen Fan, also on the street actually gathered the world's major motorcycle brands, well-known car rental companies are in the store here, to showcase their latest high-end locomotives produced.

Look at those great-looking sports car and motorcycle volume is not small, Chen Fan still hold back the urge to buy it, it is not good to take home, where the car might as well set back the country to buy, the price may be a little cheaper, but there are shipped back to the entry formalities, think about all that trouble.

He and Liu Ying main harvest or from those luxury shops, mostly selling exhibition where things are new models or limited edition, according to the clerk say, many other countries are rare style.

Ok, because of this sentence, Chen Fan will continue to pay cards, although it takes a lot of money, but these days have been very full, at least do not need to be in the country, all the day considers investment Thing.

According to the domestic tradition, the New Year is generally finished from New Year's Eve, so Chen Fan gives his own holiday for two weeks.

After ten days of Paris, they left Paris to go to Amsterdam with Liu Ying, a few hundred kilometers away, but because there is a business opportunity, it will arrive at an hour.

The Europe is really small, and one hour, from the capital of a country, it is not wonder that modern times they like to fight. It is too close, and the fight and hunting are almost, go straight and not far away. battlefield.

Then, once these countries go north, they will immediately caught it after encountering the battle nation of the land.

In Amsterdam, Liu Ying bought a small villa living outside the outskirts, after a night, Chen Fan came to follow Liu Ying to headquarters.

This is also Chen Fan to come here, the company's headquarters chooses near the Armstel River Station, here is the central area of ​​Amsterdam city, similar to Paris, the building here is also a building in the year, a little in modern However, the surrounding company headquarters is distributed, at least will not feel that it is backward.

The headquarters of Ikes is located next to the Lumbon Building. This building is the highest architecture in Amsterdam. It is the headquarters of Philips, and the side of the Dam Square he passed on the road is the largest exchange of Europe. One Amsterdam Stock Exchange.

As a finance, Chen Fan also knows that the place is the first stock exchange in the world. Although there is already a stock trading before, there is no special place, and here is the first built Specialized stocks and gold trading trading venues.

Although I don't know what the stock of the first listing of the market is, I think about the background of that era. It is just the world's big air China Sea, and it is sure that the company engaged in colonial and plundering did not run, even if it is not the first. Estimated ranking will also be very brought.

Leiden, General Manager Lende, greeted them at the door, he had received the news, Chen Fan, the company's shareholders, will come over today, so he has been preparing for the company very much, and the face process is not only domestic, and foreigners are also deep. This will be seen.

Leiden is a bit high, but it is relatively thin, the Mediterranean hairstyle, well, it is estimated that it will be bare in the future.

Followed by Liu Yingjin, Chen Fan began to understand the company's operations and the future development strategy.

Because of the limited investment, Although Ikens has developed in the past two years, it has acquired more than ten large and small newspapers in the Europe, but because most of the local secondary media, the influence is still limited.

But also for this reason, their actions can be successfully acquired by the government for approval, after all, foreign capital, or control the media, the regulators did much worse than high-tech manufacturing.

The acquisition negotiation negotiations of the two small TV networks in the continent in the continent have been reached, the price has already been tangled, the contract has also signed, just wait for a part of the government to carry out, and then the main development The strategy is also to continue to acquire TV stations.

After all, the current Europeans can not read newspapers, but at night will be watching TV.

Money, expand the company's business map.

Chen Fan quickly understood that Leiden's so-called company's future development strategy, continued to acquire the industry, but only pays only newspapers from the past.

The newspaper after the previous two years, because there is nothing illegal, at least did not give the governments for the governments, so Leiden feels that their future acquisition action may be more relaxed, so when introducing the company's situation, Outside an exterior or Chen Fan and Liu Ying continue to carry out acquisition movements.

As a general manager of Ikens, Chen Fan understands that he wants to make a strong idea of ​​the company. It is also not lack of money, but it is only private or reminded Liu Ying, pay attention to the quality of acquisition of assets.

In fact, this plan has been very much more discussing very much. Just because of the country, Chen Fan once dismissed this idea, but Liu Ying still insisted on doing, and now.

Although the Ikens company is still very influence in Europe, Liu Ying believes through continuous acquisitions and sustainable development, sooner or later, you can become an important media company in Europe.

Already in this way, Chen Fan naturally does not oppose Liu Ying to continue, after all, the current Ikens company is still good, it is already a media company of newspapers, TV and website, as long as the influence continues to expand, grow into media empire It is not impossible.

Of course, behind this requires him to continue to blood transfers, after all, the profitability of traditional media is really too weak.

It is better to operate in Europe in Europe. Of course, this is because of the goodness of Leiden's cost control, but even in this way can only be a state of insurance, and profit can only say very little. Almost negligible.

Chen Fan has seen the earnings of Keos, and it feels that it is almost not profitable, but it is a number of books. The cash flow table has been negative, although this is related to the company's continuous acquisition, it is always in cash outflow.

During this time, Chen Fan, certainly did not relax the tracking of Messages on the Rice, and Zhang Quan continued to give Chen Fan's email, so that Chen Fan can always master the changes in Migo.

After the expected expected, after the high-intensity negotiations in nearly one month, Enron's energy trading department was taken by Merlin, but the specific transaction amount did not announce the foreign publication, the transaction amount has been recognized by the bankruptcy judge and asset manager.

As a core asset of the most innovative spirit of Enron, as a paper agreement is sold, relying on energy-derived securities pricing and risk management system and financial advantages, occupying the monopoly of the new energy trading market, and builds Enron's products to become a similar Mei Lin, Goldman Sachs, but the dream of new trading companies dominated by trading energy derivatives is completely destroyed.
